Lineup set for Saturday Farmers Market

The Fayette County Farmers Market will assemble once again this Saturday morning, hoping to outwit Mother Nature.

Some of our vendors have rain and wind-sensitive products and can’t set up in inclement weather. For our other vendors, it’s GAME ON…..we are a rain or shine market. This Saturday we are hosting the Fayette County Master Gardeners’ annual Plant Swap starting at 9 a.m.

Between the Wednesday and Saturday markets, we have added many new vendors of great and varied talent: new growers, new bakers including a gluten-free baker, a u-pick flower farm, soap and skin care product makers, and wood and metal crafters. This week strawberries begin to dominate…..also expected are green onions, asparagus, lettuce, rhubarb, spinach, radishes, beets, sugar snap peas, brown eggs, chicken and chicken bratwursts, honey, baked goods, assorted and varied crafts, skin care products, and potted plants.

The following list contains the names and products of the vendors that expect to set up for Saturday’s market. The Market is open every Saturday morning from 8:30 a.m. to noon and is located in the municipal parking lot on the corner of South Main and East East streets in Washington C.H., and SNAP EBT food benefit cards and credit/debit cards are accepted.

We are offering a new program called veggie SNAPS and it permits those who use a SNAP EBT card for food items to receive matching dollar tokens (one for one) for additional fruits and vegetables. It’s a BOGO for fruit and vegetables, up to $10 EVERY market day! Be sure to ask David about the new veggie SNAPS produce program for SNAP EBT cards.
